The photo is of a front-end loader, not a backhoe. Anthony Argyriou 22:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Oops. You're right. I was looking for public domain photos and read the caption rather than looking closely at the photo. Oh well...I'll start front end loader. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Summer's here and the local construction crews are amusing themselves by tearing up the roads. I'll take a picture if I see any backhoes in the neighborhood. -Derek Hodges 23:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
